Chapter One Hundred and Thirty Sixth Aid
When he returned to the camp of the Artillery Company, Liu Gen looked a little solemn. He could see that one hundred soldiers from the Artillery Company went out, but there were indeed only more than seventy people who came back.
More than a dozen soldiers were injured and sent to the rear for treatment, but more than a dozen artillery companies soldiers died bravely in the battle with the Japanese, which made Liu Gen feel very distressed. Liu Gen was very dedicated to the soldiers of the artillery company. He wanted to train these soldiers into real artillery soldiers!
But the situation of the Eighth Route Army is here, even artillery soldiers have time to go to the front line.
The soldiers of the artillery company must be trained as artillery, but they cannot be without artillery. Liu Gen does not want the soldiers of the artillery company to die, but this kind of thing is indeed inevitable. He is not a god and cannot protect the soldiers of the artillery company. The only thing Liu Gen can do is to strictly train every soldier in the artillery company so that they can survive when they truly go to the front line to fight.
"Everyone raise your head!" Liu Gen said in a deep voice when he looked at the soldiers of the artillery company.
Liu Gen could see that the soldiers in the artillery company looked depressed, and many of the soldiers' faces were covered with dust, looking very embarrassed. Liu Gen could understand the status of these soldiers, knowing that each of them was not feeling well, and they would not feel anything during the battle, and they could not be distracted from fighting with the Japanese. But now, when they returned to Yangcun, their tense spirits relaxed, and the soldiers thought of their dead comrades!
"Look at you! You are all soldiers of the artillery company, but as you are now, you are not worthy of being soldiers of the artillery company! If you have comrades sacrificed, we can be sad and depressed, but this does not mean that we have to be immersed in sorrow! If comrades sacrificed, we should cheer up and train harder and more seriously, and on the battlefield, more killers will avenge the sacrificed comrades!"
"Look at what you are now! How disappointed will they be seen by those comrades who died! Comrades! In the battle with the Japanese, sacrifice is inevitable! Sadness can be temporarily, but not for a lifetime! All of them raise your head! Think about what you should do!" Liu Gen shouted loudly, wanting to recover from his depressed state!
In the past two days, on the way back to Yangcun, Liu Gen could see that the soldiers were in poor condition, but he didn't say anything. The sacrifice of the artillery company soldiers also had an impact on Liu Gen! But after returning to Yangcun, Liu Gen did not want these soldiers to continue to be sad. There were still many things that the soldiers needed to do, and they would continue to fight with the Japanese immediately. How could they do it in such a state of the soldiers?
"We will continue to fight with the Japanese! Our artillery company is going to compete with the Japanese artillery! With your current appearance, let alone compete with the Japanese artillery, let alone fight with the Japanese artillery, you may not be able to fight with the Japanese strongholds! You said, how should you fight with the Japanese in this way?" Looking at the soldiers of the artillery company, Liu Gen scolded again.
The soldiers of the artillery company raised their heads, looked at the company commander Liu Gen, and understood why Liu Gen scolded them! Looking at the comrades around them, the soldiers could see the flames burning in each other's eyes, which made the soldiers shout in unison, they wanted to let the company commander Liu Gen see that they had the ability to continue fighting with the Japanese!
Looking at the roaring soldiers, Liu Gen nodded in his heart. This was the artillery company he wanted to see! The Independent Regiment is a wild wolf regiment, so the soldiers of the artillery company must also turn into screaming wild wolves. Only in this way can we better fight the Japanese!
"Very good! I hope you can remember your current state! Go and put away the equipment! Prepare for training in the afternoon!" Liu Gen said in a deep voice.
The soldiers quickly dispersed and put down their equipment. After putting down their equipment, many soldiers did not choose to rest, but returned to the training ground of the artillery company and started training seriously. Some soldiers who originally wanted to rest saw other soldiers in the artillery company training, and no longer wanted to rest.
When he came to the training ground and looked at the soldiers who were training, Liu Gen's eyes flashed with satisfaction. The performance of the artillery company soldiers made him very satisfied. Joining the training of the soldiers, Liu Gen asked the other soldiers to make herbal tea, and when the soldiers were tired of training, they would drink some. It was actually boiled water made of dried dandelions, which was somewhat useful.
Li Yunlong came not far from the artillery company training ground. He came to the artillery company to find Liu Gen, wanting to ask Liu Gen about the status of the artillery company soldiers. However, before he arrived at the artillery company camp, he heard the shouts of the artillery company soldiers during training, which surprised Li Yunlong. When Li Yunlong really saw the artillery company soldiers in the training ground and Liu Gen who was training with the soldiers, he immediately felt relieved about the artillery company.
Having given up the idea of talking to Liu Gen, Li Yunlong believed that there would definitely be no problem in fighting the Japanese with the state of the artillery company soldiers when they were trained.
Back at the regiment headquarters, Li Yunlong ordered the soldiers around him to send a fat pig to the artillery company. As the regiment commander, the only thing he could do was to ensure the logistics of the artillery company soldiers and ensure that the soldiers had enough nutrition for training. Perhaps due to the influence of the artillery company, other troops of the independent regiment quickly entered the training state. The training was more rigorous than before, making the spirit of the soldiers of the independent regiment tense. The soldiers all knew that the battle with the Japanese was right in front of them!
Two days later, Liu Gen came to the regiment headquarters and saw that Zhang Dabiao and others had already arrived at the regiment headquarters. Their faces were obviously solemn.
"Sorry, I'm late." Liu Gen said apologetically.
Zhao Gang laughed, "Genzi, it's okay. The training of your artillery company in the past two days has been too heavy. Can the soldiers bear it?"
"The soldiers can still persevere. Our independent regiment will fight the Japanese immediately. I can only let the soldiers work harder in training, sweat more often in normal times and bleeding less during wartime." Liu Gen said softly.
Political Commissar Zhao nodded, "That's right! Sweat more on weekdays and bleed less during wartime. If we want the soldiers of our Independent Regiment to survive successfully on the battlefield, it will require a lot of training! In the future, the soldiers of our Independent Regiment will focus on training and strive to reduce casualties among the soldiers!"
"Genzi is here? Sit down! Listen carefully to our regiment's next combat plan." Li Yunlong walked out of the room and saw Liu Gen and said with a smile.
After finding a seat to sit down, Liu Gen was a little surprised after listening to the combat plan formulated by Li Yunlong. In this battle, the role of their artillery company did not seem to be very important. Li Yunlong was not prepared to take down the Japanese in the stronghold. The Japanese were prepared for it. It was difficult for Liu Gen to inject the high-explosive bombs into the Japanese stronghold. Besides, there were not many high-explosive bombs left in the independent regiment and could not be wasted on the Japanese stronghold.
